We’re clearing space in the studio. Give them a tour of the Quaker Building. That’ll buy us time.

Jonathan Danners

How? I don’t know a thing about it.

Patrick Bright

Take them the long way round. Under the arch, through the quad, beside the water feature.

Ludya Parak

Built in 1866 by Quakers as a schoolhouse, it was sold to philanthropist Robert Hastings, who rebuilt it as a hospital for women.

Jem Badhuri

Take them to the garden outside the Aviator. Those flowers smell gorgeous.

Ludya Parak

In WW1 it was a hospital for wounded troops, then a convalescent home for TB survivors. Is that enough?

Gela Nathaniel

Where are the chairs with backs?

Jonathan Danners

One of the tech guys has a question: why are the lower windows round and the upper windows arched?

Ludya Parak

Are you asking me? Don’t know. I’m copying and pasting from Wiki.

Patrick Bright

This is as much space as we’ll get in the studio. We daren’t move the tunnel or the head. Neither is stable.

Gela Nathaniel

Bring the guests in now, Jonathan. It looks fine. It’s a working studio. They’ll understand that.

Jem Badhuri

It would be useful if Alyson were here.

Alyson Lang

I came in at the weekend. My quota of components is on my table. Good luck, everyone.
